LOONEY TUNES / Daffy and Speedy In "A-Haunting We Will Go" - 1966

Here's one from Saturday morning kids TV, it came out the same year Eegah!! and I graduated from high school, but I digress...

I guess this one would be good for Halloween Countdown, but heck, I'm still in my March Madness Mode... So, we start at Witch Hazel's house.

Daffy's nephew is out trick or treating, but when Witch Hazel answers the door, she's the one that says.. Trick or Treat! The little guy makes a bee line back to his uncle's place. He tells Daffy that a witch lives in that old house across the way. Daffy tells his nephew that there is no such thing as a witch, and he's going over there to prove it!

In the meantime, the witch is brewing up her potions when it crosses her mind that all she does is work, and that she needs a well earned vacation...

What the heck!! It'll warp your brain to try and figure out why Speedy would live there, but by this time the WB stories were nothing but derivative. At least the artwork was good here.

Anyway, the witch changes Speedy into a copy of herself to hang out while she goes to Hawaii for a quick vacation. Although Speedy acts like Witch Hazel, he still has his own voice! So, the witch heads out on her broom for a rest...

Daffy shows up and is pulled inside for a nice cup of tea brewed up by Speedy...

But since he doesn't know at all what he's doing with Hazel's special ingredients, he turns Daffy into that Screw Ball thing he was a few years earlier in another cartoon.

Witch Hazel is back in town, and when she flies into her house, she crashes into the wall.

She changes Speedy back to himself and he speeds back inside his hole.

Now, she wants to change Daffy back into a duck...

But for a delicious reason, she hasn't had duck for ages!!

Daffy runs out of the witch's house but she gets on her broom and scoops him up. He jumps off  and deploys a parachute, only to have it changed into a big anvil by the witch, and it smashes down on his head!

As she's laughing away, she doesn't notice where she's going  and runs into a big boulder! I guess that evens things up a bit.

Daffy's nephew sees him and wants to know if he believes in witches now...

Of course Daffy says no, and starts giving his nephew all the reasons that witches don't exist. Welp, Eegah!! will have our last post in March on Wednesday, don't miss it.
